Rework stencils are laser cut solder paste stencils typically used to manually print a single component on a printed circuit board. They are mainly used for PCB rework but can used for prototype PCB assembly of simple boards.
They are available with or without flaps. The flaps are for the purpose of holding the stencil between the thumb and finger. A squeegee blade is included.
Rework SMT Stencils are custom made for any component and can be customized with relief areas, to eliminate removing neighboring components.
